Ruhig gelegenes Cottage für 2

Wir kamen aufgrund von Schwierigkeiten der Fluggesellschaft sehr spät an (kurz vor Mitternacht). In Inverness war die Autovermietung nicht erreichbar, dass hat John für uns gemanagt. Nochmals herzlichen Dank dafür. Wir fanden im Cottage nicht nur einen Präsentkorb mit Snacks und Prosecco, sondern zusätzlich Marmelade, Brot und im Kühlschrank Butter und Milch. Absolut top.Zum Cottage: vom Parkplatz führt eine Steintreppe und ein kleiner hinauf. Im Schlafzimmer ein Doppelbett mit guter Matratze. Kleines Bad mit schöner Dusche (normal und Regendusche). Die Küchenzeile bietet alles, was man braucht inkl. Mikrowelle.Hinter dem Haus eine mehrteilige Vogelfutterstation, die immer wieder von Mary und/oder John befüllt wurde. Dort ist stets "Dauerbetrieb".Marty der Marder war auch mal da, nur Dachse haben wir nicht gesehen.Einziges (eher kleines Manko): das WiFi ist vorsichtig ausgedrückt eine Katastrophe der 4G Empfang dafür gut.Letzteres reicht aber nicht um die Zahl der Sterne zu reduzieren.Fazit:Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub.Vielen, sehr herzlichen Dank an Mary und John!

Very rural area. Quiet, off the road, which was lightly traveled anyway. Beautiful grounds and views.

Beauty near Beauly

Mary and John were great hosts - the cottage is set in the stunning area just a short drive to Beauly. We enjoyed a decent walk around Glen Affrick and walk up Ben Wyvis in the snow. The cottage is well heated and the fire was lovely and cosy after a day outside. Highly recommend Corner on the Square for coffee, a bite and even wine! Lovely food and service.

Highland Nature, Scottish Highland Hospility

This is the cottage for you if you want to enjoy the Scottish Highlands in a pristine, natural setting,while still being close enough to civilization...if you want it. The cottage had a cozy bedroom, full kitchen, and a loft area featuring skylights to see the stars. Mary and John made us feel right at home and we enjoyed whiskey a fire with them while star-gazing one night. They tend a garden that encompasses all 3 acres. There are two nature preserves nearby where every level of hiker can find a perfect hike,and Glen Strathfarrar Munros is like a step back in time where the virgin highlands remain untouched as they only let 25 cars in each day. It's the same as it's always been. History is everywhere. "Outlander" fans can go to the actual battlefield, Culloden, where the Scots fell to the Brits in their valiant, albeit doomed, fight. You can walk the battlefield with a guide and then explore the interactive museum that takes you to the middle of the battle in a theater of four screens surrounding you. Clava Cairns is a place where you can explore prehistoric stone circles/ standing stones, tombs/cemeteries from the Bronze Age. When you stand in the middle of the Cairns, you might be able to watch your cell phone drain its battery. It's a place of mystic energy. The tiny town of Beauly is charming, and filled with Highlanders who are friendly and welcoming. We preferred this town to Inverness as the people went out of their way to be welcoming.

Prachtige cottage in heerlijke rust en natuur

We hebben ontzettend genoten van het verblijf in Fern Cottage. Eeh heerlijk lichte en ruime woning met alles wat je modig hebt. Mary en John zijn fijne en behulpzame hosts. Prachtige omgeving met veel wandel mogelijkheden. Bij minder goed weer is het fijn in het huis met meer dan genoeg ruimte en een heerlijke houtkachel! Rond het huis is de prachtige tuin met meerdere zitjes. Vogels vliegen af en aan. Zeer aan te bevelen!

About the host

Hosted by Mary McDade

Host profile image
I was born and grew up in the USA and moved to the U.K. with my parents back in 1980s. I discovered Scotland through meeting my future husband who introduced me to this wonderful country where I have lived for nearly 30 years now. Together we have visited the wild and remote parts of Scotland where we have enjoyed trekking, climbing and wild camping. It reminds me in many ways of Northern Minnesota (even down to the midges!) where I spent many a happy summer on my grandparents small farm.

Why they chose this property

After running our I.T. Consultancy business since the early 90s my husband and I resolved to have a serious work/life change and so we decided to set up a holiday letting business in the Highlands. We then spent many years looking for just the right property to fulfil this aspiration and in 2012 we started Eolas Holiday Cottages. The reason it took so long was that we were looking for a place that was much more than just accommodation – it had to reflect all the special qualities that I had come to love during my travels through the Scottish Highlands. I believe that with Tigh-na-Bruaich we have indeed found this.

What makes this property unique

Tigh-na-Bruaich is a special place with a quiet beauty and tranquillity. To this end we have left the woodland and the wilder areas of the grounds as untouched as possible. Even in those areas where we do garden we do our best to accommodate the wildlife that frequent our grounds. The variety of fauna that can be found within these grounds are a testament to the bio-diversity of this small piece of land. Since starting work on these grounds we regularly see: pine martens, badgers, red squirrels, bats, buzzards, red kites, sparrow-hawks, ravens, slow worms, lizards and many other fauna natural to the area.
